Hello! I've been really loving the interactivity and personable nature of some of TNT talking with Neopians about stuff! I think it's really awesome you're getting into community engagement and feedback! One of my favorite things to have happened is seeing these new pet/color combos based on fan artwork (like the Maraquan Lutari or more recently Koi), I feel like this is an awesome way to honor someone's hard work. I was wondering where you found these ideas. In the Suggestions or Art neoboards? In art galleries or spotlights? Do you just happen to see an Art Gallery submission of a new pet/color concept and go "Yes!"? Sorry if this has been asked before! ~~deadlylie
We are so happy to hear that! We had a lot of fun doing those fun little "Get to know" theTNT Staff questions and have been gathering invaluable feedback from users through the editorial, neoboards, neomail, and discord.
As for how we have been finding these incredible artist concepts to use for inspiration for the official pet/colour combos, I have been creating Neoboard posts every month asking for user suggestions. Through the feedback on these posts from everyday Neopians such as yourself, we have been able to create some truly incredible outfits :D
Here is the last one we posted if you would like to take a look:
And be sure to keep an eye out during the coming weeks for the July Pet Day Suggestions Board! ~~Aesop

Hi TNT, I love neopets so much, I want to get a neo-themed tattoo!! I was just wondering if there are any copyright laws or anything in place that I would need to follow in order to get one of my favorite pets/petpets/items/etc. tattooed? ~~dependence
Thank you so much for your question! There are no copyright laws for your neo-themed tattoo. Be safe and share a picture with us so we can see! Thanks again! ~~Yarner

Hello TNT! I was writing to ask if we could possibly get a day every year where you release old items/artwork that were unreleased for whatever reason. There's a bunch of really neat old artwork that would be awesome to see put to use :) A "throwback thursday" but its an annual event! Thanks for your time :D ~~lupe_lover_fan
Wow! This is a fantastic idea :D A new Neopian holiday where we finally release some old artwork or items that never saw the light of day would be really cool. We will definitely start looking into this! And please let us know if you have any suggestions for artwork that was never released or when this new holiday might fall on the Neopia Calendar. ~~Aesop

Is there a reason the Faerie Petpet Food is restocking in Merifoods? That just seems wrong. XD Just wondering. ~~Anonymous

This is a question for the moderation team. Can you explain which factor do you consider when receiving a report? You can avoid details if you preffer but it seems like some harrasment and offensive acts are tolerated if they are against certain players, while some other players seems to have the benefit of be overprotected. Thank you in advance for the clarification, I'm pretty sure we all want a safe place to play and enjoy Neopia. ~~hits
Thanks for the question! What we do when we get an abuse report is we go to the member's message and review the messages they have posted and the message that was reported. If there is proof they are harassing anyone on the site then the moderator would then proceed to warn the member.
However, warns do build up, so if this member has been warned prior and builds up a specific point value they could be silenced. That being said, if it's their first infraction then it might possibly just be a warning.
This depends on the severity of the harassment as well, since some forms of harassment are an instant silence. In more extreme cases, the account could be permanently silenced as well. Usually the moderators will not even look at who reported, and it doesn't make a difference if the person was reported one time or multiple times. ALL reports are investigated the same way to make sure it is done fairly. ~~kikocat

Hello! In a follow-up for last weeks question: Can you recategorize Deep Inside the Kreludan Mines from Book to Booktastic Book? It was also released in a Kreludor-themed Halloween gift bag, yet it is not categorized as a Booktastic Book. It would fit the theme perfectly, and there are so few Booktastic Books out there. Thank you! Please leave out my username. ~~Anonymous
Another superb suggestion! A tell-all book about the Kreludorian Mines certainly belongs on the shelves of the finest (and only) library on Kreludor. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We have recategorized Deep Inside the Kreludan Mines to be a Booktastic book, and want to encourage all Neopians to continue to share any other discrepancies they notice! ~~Aesop

Hi TNT! Here are a few more head accessories that would be nice if they can be changed to static: Pastel Raindorf Antlers, Holiday Hair Bow, Flower Hair Bow, Food-Eating Monster Horns, Spring Flower Head Wreath, Ribbon Faerie Head Wreath, Fancy Purple Hair Bow, Elegant Holiday Hair Clip, Delicate Flower Laurel, Valentine Hair Accessory and Lace Headband. ~~greyfever
Hi! Thank you for sending this in! I recognize a few of these from other lists and petpages with head accessories rezoning requests. We are going to be working through the lists bit by bit (there are a LOT). Thank you so much for helping to keep our list as updated as possible! ~~Mac

Hi there! So I have a beautiful Shadow Uni, with a gorgeous purple customization built around her perfect purple horn… and then one day, out of nowhere, her horn is BRIGHT YELLOW?! So I do some research and find that this is a glitch that has been going on with Unis for at least 3 years now. Please, can you fix this so we can get our pretty Uni horns back to the way they should be? ~~noelbee
Hello! I see the dilemma… that bright yellow does not scream “shadow” now does it? :( But guess what? It should be purple very very soon! Enjoy! ~~Miss Rainbow

Hello! Could you ask Donny to fix some item images? Elderly Apple is 54x73 instead of 80x80. Refreshing Barrel Water is 36x77 and it looks like a jar instead of a thin water bottle because it's stretched... Say thanks to Donny for me! ~~petitehirondelline
Hello! Thanks for writing in : ) We handed these tasks over to Donny and wowee they were so quick to fix it up! The images for these items should now be correctly formatted as 80x80s! ~~Miss Rainbow

Hey, TNT! How is it going? I was curious, with the Altador Cup Scrapbook, it is mentioned as a gift? It looks like a beautiful book that your pets should be able to read, in order to reminisce on all the years that have passed! Maybe they want to see their favourite player? Would you think about it? Thank you so very much, and hope you take much care this AC Season! May you please leave out my UN? Thank you very much ^^ ~~Anonymous
We completely agree that you should be able to leaf through this Altador Cup Scrapbook to look back on your favourite memories of attending the Altador Cup! We just changed this item from a gift to a book, so now you can read it with your pets and reflect together on some of the best times you had at the Altador Cup! ~~Aesop

Hi, sorry this question is unusual, but I was wondering if users are allowed to have pet characters that dress in drag? Drag is not inherently [inappropriate for Neopets] and if it's done respectfully I think it would be okay but I wanted to check. I know LGBTQIA+ stuff is accepted onsite now as long as it isn't involved with romance etc, so I figured it was worth asking about as someone I know expressed interest in designing a pet character around it. Please keep this question anonymous, and thanks for your time!! ~~Anonymous
We LOVE this idea. Gender expression is super important, and we have received a lot of wonderful ideas in our pride month feedback, like an Elton John outfit, drag makeup and costumes, and more androgynous wearables. We are hoping to be able to release LGBTQIA+ wearables and items all year round, and not just in June. Keep sending us these ideas - they are incredibly creative and we love seeing them! ~~Mac

Hi TNT! I was wondering when we might have dates for the Altador Cup this year? Since such a large portion of the current playerbase are adults, I can't imagine I'm the only one with this issue but....I'd love to request work time off so I can spend 14 hours a day playing slushie slinger, but I need dates to do that! Soon please? ~~Anonymous
We should be starting the press tour within the next couple of days. The sign ups have been mentioned to be starting on the 25th of May. We are aiming to start the event the first full week of June. We are still working on making it the best experience that we can! Stay tuned! ~~Yarner

Thank you for pulling off a great Festival of Neggs TNT! The clues and steps on the final day felt like a blast from the past similar to the plots of old. What a great way to introduce a new petpet as well. Cheers and welcome to the Talpidat! I'm so appreciative of the noticeable change in this event's execution and improved communication. Thank you for your hard work, effort, and care. Looking forward to seeing what is in store for the Altador Cup! B) ~~smashwinner121 Hi. I'm writing in with happy thoughts because I've been enjoying the site content the last few weeks. The last beta update was great; I got the Rubbish Dump avatar, and I'm glad that the attic has made its return. I'm also happy to see a Flash-free NC collector's case, and the "book all" option at the Neolodge is a real time-saver. I'm enjoying the Festival of Neggs; I love the prizes. Keep up the great work! :) ~~_brainchild_ Hi TNT! I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for all your hard work in updating the site. I grew up alongside Neopets, and it makes me really happy every time there's a new update that allows us to use relics from the past (like updating the maps to not use Flash!), or improves functionality (like the new Neolodge book all feature! Wow!). I know you have all been working as hard as you can to get everything updated to a modern format. I can't wait until Neopia is back to its original glory (or even better!) and I'm so incredibly happy that this huge part of my childhood is still around and is a tangible website I can interact with instead of just a memory :) ~~missfiona393

Hello TNT! I just wanna say, I don't think releasing rare stamps through the Mystery Pic is a good idea. It was a bad idea back in 2002 and it still is, but for a different reason... People nowadays have lots a ways to form communities off-site and to communicate instantly with each other. So the answer to the MP is now easily shared, far more easier than back in 2002. So you are basically handing out super rare items to people who are lucky enough to be online when the MP is out and to have a friend who's going to share the answer with them. In the end, those rare items are going to be awarded to the same handful of people every week. If you want to re-release those stamps, you could find a way to make it a bit more random and fair (and keep them *rare*, please) and you could also use the opportunity to create a new NP (or item) sink in the process instead of rewarding cheaters. Thank you for considering.
Hello and thank you for writing in about this matter! As we mentioned in the news, we really appreciate all of the feedback and constructive criticism that we received about re-releasing rare stamps. We agree that the Mystery Picture Spotlight is clearly not the best way to go about re-releasing some of the rarer stamps and will not be releasing any more of them through that spotlight. That being said, we would love to find a way for collectors who joined more recently to still have a chance to complete their collection. This is something we will continue to discuss with the team, as we want to be fair to both veteran stamp collectors who have been treasuring these items for years as well as new or returning players who are looking to explore different areas of the site like stamp collection. If anyone else has ideas on more equitable ways to re-release some of the older and much rarer collectible items such as stamps, we would be happy to hear your thoughts! ~~Aesop

hey guys! i've seen some good tips going around the web about what neopets could be doing better to have a real revival. do you ever go looking for constructive criticism like that for tips how to move forward? doing maintenance and bug fixes is great, but it won't kick the site back into the spotlight and get new players. i know you're working hard though! ~~Anonymous
Oh, I would LOVE to answer this one! A lot of us spend a lot of time - myself included - just hanging out and playing on the website when we’re not working. I, personally, love scouring the Ideas Board, Site Events, and anywhere I can find all that juicy feedback. It’s a really great learning experience, and I love sharing everything with the team. We all greatly appreciate it, because it shows what users like, and what you all want to see change or improve! Making more surveys or being more publicly present may be possible ways to gather topical and most-current feedback. We will continue to brainstorm different avenues for collecting feedback, but please don’t stop sharing your ideas and suggestions and constructive criticism - it’s so important to us! ~~Mac

Regarding the potential Fruit Machine Avatar: Given how few times since the Fruit Machine came into existence that I've actually managed to spin 3 Puntec Fruits, I'd think that this would make the avatar almost impossible to obtain and be extremely discouraging. Maybe it could be for anyone who manages ANY sort of match 3? That seems rare enough as it is! (Either that, or I'm just extremely unlucky!) ~~sonderbar
That is an excellent point, we really appreciate you reaching out about this. I've been playing Fruit Machine everyday for the past few years and still haven't spun 3 Puntec Fruits myself! Spinning 3 of the same fruit, regardless of the type of fruit, sounds like a much more reasonable way to earn the avatar. We are moving forward with the Fruit Machine avatar, so I will be sure to bring this idea of how to achieve it to the team as we look into setting it up! ~~Aesop

Hi Tnt! why do we only see auctions that are about to close in the main page? why can't we see all the auctions going on in the other pages? ~~Anonymous
Hello! The main page ("Auctions 1-20") is meant to display auctions that are closing soon, this is helpful for anyone who wants to grab an item before the auction ends, limiting the chance of someone to outbid them. We are currently looking into improving the Auction, making it easier to view other auctions and overall navigation. Hope this helps! ~~Sunpotato

Bitten Snowbunny Ears Headband, Golden Jewelled Tiara, Gothic Snowbunny Ears Headband, Sparkling Heart Headband, Gigantic Pink Hair Bow, Golden Horns, Spring Hair Flower and Holiday Headwreath. ~~greyfever
Hi! Nice catch; thank you for bringing this up! We have been receiving a ton of rezoning requests - for headbands and hats especially.

Hello, there is a weapon "The Scimitar of Lyra", it's a pretty interesting weapon and possibly useful for one of the user made 2player formats L54, there is a problem though, it's once per battle. This seems really odd since it's a sword, so it would make sense like every other sword it could be used multiple times in a battle. It's not particularly strong so it doesn't really fit the role of once per battle bomb either. I was wondering if it being once per battle is possibly a mistake? Thanks! ~~sss_shelly
Huh that is very odd, thank you for bringing this to our attention! Since there doesn't seem to be any reason why this sword should only be used once per battle, we had Donny go in and change it for us. The Scimitar of Lyra can now be used multiple times over the course of the same battle! ~~Aesop

Hey TNT! Do you think you can look into and hopefully fix a glitch that has been going on for a very long time. For as long as I can remember in fact! And that is that Robot Rukis can not properly wear shoes. You can put them on the pet in customization, but they show up BEHIND the pet's feet, even when you make sure to take off the Robot housing for that area. So you can only see a tiny bit of the outline of the shoes/boots/whatever foot wear. I have a Robot Ruki who would really love to wear some shoes! ~~undeadrockstar
Hello! You know, Robots got tough feet. They’re not bothered by the hot ground on a sunny day, or slushy snow, or thorns. SO, technically they are just fine without shoes. Just kidding haha! This is now fixed hehe. Sorry for pulling your leg, but I hope you have fun customising your Robot Ruki with cute, fab, and fashionable shoes! ~~Miss Rainbow

I would really love to see a cheese colored neopet one day! Do you think this would be possible? ~~bobtheninjacat
This is definitely something we would love to do in the future! However, whenever we discuss the idea of releasing a new paint brush, there are so many great ideas and concepts for new PBs that come up it can be very difficult to decide where to start. In order to help us choose the perfect paint brushes to release next, we've been thinking about setting up some type of survey to get feedback from users about which colours they would like to see! As we are still in the initial planning stage for new paint brushes, we do not have a set date yet for when we want to start gathering this feedback. However, since new paint brushes are brought up so often, we wanted to speak up and let you know that they are certainly on our minds as well! ~~Aesop
